Paulus Noa

“"Eiseb's July 2026 statement points to all the areas where the ACC has apparently lost its way over the years under the leadership of founding and long-serving former head Paulus Noa," Links writes in his October report.”

“Responding to Haufiku's comment yesterday, Noa said the investigations into the allegation of corruption in the Ministry of Health and Social Services are still under investigation.”

“He said he did not protect anyone. "Haufiku knows me very well, he knows where he can contact me ….he could have asked me about it if he thinks that there is something suspicious that is being hidden whatsoever. What made him not to ask me?," Noa says. Noa says that he also informed the new director general Bryan Eiseb about the investigations into the ministry of health before he left as it is one of the outstanding notable cases.”

“Noa made the remarks yesterday as he formally ended his 20-year tenure at the ACC, which he helped establish and lead since its inception in 2006.”

“Outgoing Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) director general Paulus Noa has cautioned against expecting the commission to simply secure convictions in every corruption case, saying the law and courts must be allowed to take their course.”

“ACC director general Paulus Noa has confirmed the meeting, but has declined to disclose more detail, saying the information is confidential.”

“The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is set to mark a leadership transition on 1 October, when founding Director-General Paulus Noa officially hands over the reins to newly appointed Director-General Bryan Eiseb.”

“The handover will bring to an end Noa's tenure of 20 years and several months at the helm of the commission, with the ACC describing the occasion as the beginning of "a new chapter" for the institution.”

“He claims Noa was subsequently granted an additional two months in office during Parliament's recess, allegedly because his retirement process had not yet commenced.”

“Eiseb, who took over from Paulus Noa, is now pushing for lifestyle audits, asset tracking, and unexplained wealth orders to target public officials with illegal riches.”
